Cloning of human GAP 43: Growth association and ischemic resurgence

Abstract

GAP-43 is a growth cone protein expressed in neurons especially during periods of axonal elongation. Poor repair in the adult mammalian CNS has been ascribed to restraints upon its expression. We have cloned human GAP-43 cDNA to investigate its potential involvement in neurological illness. Analysis of postmortem human brain tissue disclosed uniformly high expression of GAP-43 throughout the neonatal brain, whereas in the adult brain high levels of GAP-43 persist only in discrete regions. However, in the wake of ischemic injury in the adult brain, regions normally low in GAP-43 reexpress it at high levels, suggesting a role for GAP-43 in remodeling and repair of mature CNS neurons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
